I Survived The Swine Flu and All I Got Was This Lousy T-Shirt

becky | October 28, 2009

Hello from the other side! So yeah, that was fun.  By getting this flu and in turn, giving it to my son, I was just being a good mother.  You see, Ben told me last week that he wanted a day alone with just me.  Well kid, how about THREE!?  Just you and me, Buddy.  [...]

H1N1 Ain’t No Fun

becky | October 25, 2009

It all started on Thursday night.  It had been a very stressful week so when I was feeling run down and semi sick, I just thought it was the weight of a bad week on me.  Until I woke up in the early hours of Friday with a cough deep in my lungs that burned like lava.  “Shit,” I [...]

The Girl Who Cried Pig

becky | October 2, 2009

Tuesday evening I picked up my child from a TWELVE HOUR field trip! Yes, you read that correctly. They left school at 8:00 am and returned at 7:30 PM!  I think his teacher’s head needs to be examined.  In my day, our big field trip was a ten block gaunt to the downtown library. For [...]

Clearly I’m a Twit

becky | September 25, 2009

To tweet or not to tweet, that is my question. I have a confession to make. My name is Becky and I don’t Tweet! I know I know, it’s shocking. I should have asked you all to sit down before just throwing that out there sans warning. I blog (duh), I Facebook like a champ, [...]

blackout!

becky | June 19, 2009

Last night I was awoken by the deafening sound of silence. It took me a moment to figure out what was going on. Was I dead? Was I in some super calm sleep and still needed to wake up? Or did I mysteriously go deaf in the middle of the night? When I was coherent [...]

March: In Like a Lamb, Out Like a Rock Star

becky | April 5, 2009

Little did I know that in a deep dark corner of my brain was a ticking time bomb.  Like a Peep in the microwave, when the clock struck 37 years, it exploded up with the mess that only a melted marshmallow can produce. Apparently for me, turning 37 really translated to rolling Father Time back and recreating 21.  Although [...]

Love From The Big House

becky | March 25, 2009

My computer recently decided that I have loaded too many pictures and therefore I am no longer worthy of uploading nary a photo.  Just like a good Jewish grandmother it seemed to say to me, “Beckala!  Enough with the pit-chas already!  Just write to the nice people!  OY!”  Since posting pictures of the family birthday soiree [...]

Six Words

becky | February 13, 2009

Since today is Valentine’s Day Eve (gag!) this morning on my favorite Madison radio station, 105.5 was talking about this book. And then they asked their listeners to call in with what six words they would use to describe either their current relationship or a past relationship. Because I am what you might call “outgoing”, and so [...]

The Cookie Knows

becky | January 22, 2009

Last night, after eating some heavenly Chinese food, I was eager to break into my fortune cookie.  Not only because I love me some fortune cookies, but because these past couple weeks have been so stressful, I needed some guidance.  And if that guidance has to come from flour and sugar folded up like a [...]

Out With The Old, In With The Cold

becky | January 15, 2009

Did you know I’m moving?  I know I barely talk about it.  It’s not like every single Facebook status for the past week has been me bitching about packing and moving.  I’m so subtle.  I hate to complain.  So it’s easy to forget that I’m moving.  But I am! For some reason, when I moved into [...]
